Sexually Transmitted Diseases / Question
Published: April 24, 2002
Dear TeenHealthFX,
I had unprotected sex with a girl I didn't know a couple of months ago and started seeing pimple like spots on the head of my penis. I am really concerned and want to get tested for STDs. How can I find out where I can get tested in my town?

If you live in northern New Jersey you can call the Adolescent/Young Adult Center For Health at 973.971.6475 for an appointment with a doctor. Outside this area and for different states you can call the Planned Parenthood Clinic Locator at 1-800-230-7526 to find a clinic near you.
These clinics can see you with without parental permission and for little or no cost.

Teens often abuse prescription drugs because of the myth that these drugs provide a medically safe high.
